Peter N. Liptak

The man behind the curtain

lives and writes in Seoul, Korea. As a purveyor of the English language, Peter believes in the power of poetry to teach the rhythmic beauty and artistry of communication.
 
A world traveler and bicycle aficionado, Peter studied Astronomy, Anthropology, and Acting at the University of Minnesota before finally graduating in English Literature and History. Peter worked as a preschool teacher, waiter, dance instructor and massage therapist while in school, and as an actor, ESL teacher, and writer since. He also did his Master’s in Korean History at Yonsei University in Seoul and uses Korea as the base for his travels in Asia and helping Korean children to visit summer camp in the US.
 
Peter believes in discovering the beauty of each day by being in the moment. Always open to new possibilities, he began his bicycle adventures in his youth, often venturing out with his sister on rickety yellow bikes meant for adults. Such memories inspired him to venture ever further, journeying through Europe and parts of Asia and even testing his mettle in Ironman triathlons.
